Very personal off the beaten path tours.You don't have to look like a tourist. Get to explore the areas the locals enjoy and be free to go with the flow. Food markets, historic buildings, Train stations and just overall interesting spots. Allow me...more

I was happy with the small group and felt very free to ask Scott questions as we went long. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the hidden treasures of San Jose. Also the areas less touristy for good food and shops. I will do...More

I had a great experience with Walking Tours ™ seeing things in San José I missed on my own.
Through the tour, I was all the time in a good mood feeling those unique moments.

Whether you're a photographer looking for outstanding urban images, or a visitor who wants to explore a greatly underestimated city, this tour is for you. Scott knows the best spots; unique perspectives; interesting angles, and the best shots of a city that needs to be...More

You'll miss a lot of you take a bus tour. Get to really know and feel San Jose, and the way to do that is to walk around with the natives. Scott is also a very interesting man, great artists, and very charming.

San Jose is not pretty by most any standards. I've lived in Costa Rica for nine years, about six of those near the downtown "chepe" area. Most people like to move through the city as quickly as possible and tourists generally stick to a few...More

Thanks for the review. It was a real pleasure spending time with you and I feel I learned a great deal from you!

We are always looking for unusual things to see and do when we travel and taking Scott's Walking Tour was exactly what we were looking for. We are foodies and he took us to some great little restaurants that the locals frequent. His Spanish language...More

I really enjoyed you guys. Usually people aren't interested in local cuisine. Fun for me as well. You felt like family.

San Jose in a car can be a not so pleasant experience. For more than 10 years I would go directly from the airport to the country, leaving San Jose as quickly as possible. Until I took a walking tour with Scott. I had no...More

I've always wanted to learn and practice photography with a pro. Scott's walking tours are the most fun I've had taking pictures with my phone. He is fun and a great teacher, plus he knows a lot of cool places in San José.

Hi, I can create a walk that can fit your interests. We can walk through various neighborhoods and go with the flow. Stopping to rest or shop is not a problem. I suggest museums you can do on your own. But I can surely get you in the door. I try to plan tours in the mornings to avoid rains. Usually this works. In raining season it is best to have a big umbrella handy. Light rain can be fun, but downpours we can duck into a store or call Uber!!!
